The consultant submitted an initial draft in December, staff returned comments in January, the consultant resubmitted and received a second round of state comments in late March, and the consultant is now addressing those comments.

Staff said the nomination was originally expected to go to the state nominations review committee in June but now appears more likely to be considered in October or later. If the state committee approves the nomination, staff said the consultant would make any further recommended changes before the nomination is forwarded to the National Park Service for final listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

On other business, a commissioner asked about enforcement and follow-up for a recently approved certificate of appropriateness (COA) for a chimney replacement on a Queen Anne house. Staff explained that COA conditions are tied to building permits; the building permit has a one-year completion window, and staff inspects the work when the permit is closed out to confirm the project matches the approved COA.

Staff also announced that commissioner William has resigned and is moving outside of Ames. The mayor will consider applicants and submit a nominee to the City Council for approval to fill the vacancy.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Ames City Historic Preservation Commission | April 14th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff updated the commission on the Chautauqua Park and Ridgewood National Register nomination timeline, explained the certificate-of-appropriateness follow-up tied to building permits, and confirmed a vacancy resulting from William's resignation.","taxTitle","Ames City, Story County, Iowa","taxId",4975,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6070861,"Ames City HPC agrees to be named sponsor of ‘A Glimpse Inside,’ names representatives and tables funding decision",1145,430000,1575000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3049463-b1d1ccacb32fec70e8451a9f99efed21&start=430&end=1575","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3049463-b1d1ccacb32fec70e8451a9f99efed21/thumbnail_430000.jpg","/articles/6070861/Ames-City/Story-County/Iowa/Ames-City-HPC-agrees-to-be-named-sponsor-of-A-Glimpse-Inside-names-representatives-and-tables-funding-decision","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6070861-cd8a5ed53fb90ee8cada42ca121ba058/orig.mp4?Expires=1776763477&Signature=BFxgp~nKvbKGldSThZAOwGQherkXaf8envkdUSWZPH6aXY~RN7KgvoRWfQV4ynGjYUXHCk9hyya4KibZgiI1oQYBnC8ppVRHWdtmoXSrK3sNxi8a9JwUHDdRRmlHwOApetTy~Rq5ZV5OK20C9kmoefyWTDQo0VUVSKtFKcjfRO-escjze-Yn7iNeh5uBr5QO~fWiA2pe63Ia5eLiNwyCRJbOqXcMxwYMOppQIRW77fDabmiKCqyYsPNxMyShXcbXiQzBEwRgBNpQs0xW6t7JSM-BJOE91mgDs7bcIff94FuPFP6siUcWs7ZxUuVnGypwFjIC9zfDicFJ6vWgLwEipQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Ames City Historic Preservation Commission voted to be listed as a sponsor or partner of the community event “A Glimpse Inside,” designated commission members Devon Lewis and Kate Gregory as its official representatives on the event committee, and tabled a decision on whether to provide event funding until the May meeting.

The motion approved at the meeting combined three elements: (1) defer a decision about commission funding until May so commissioners can assess Preserve Iowa Summit attendance and commission budget needs, (2) name Devon Lewis and Kate Gregory as the commission’s representatives on the A Glimpse Inside planning committee, and (3) authorize the commission to be listed as a sponsor or partner on event materials “with or without funding.” The motion carried on a voice vote; no roll-call counts were recorded in the transcript.

Shelley, a member of the planning committee who addressed the commission, provided a preliminary event budget and described planned expenses and in-kind contributions. Shelley said the estimate was “preliminary” and added the commission had sought quotes from local printers and a graphic-design student group for design work. She said the budget assumptions included printed posters and easels at each featured property, bollard banners downtown, window posters on Main Street, trifold brochures, leaflets to distribute at the farmers market, signage directing visitors to properties on the day of the event, water for docents, a donation to the Iowa State Graphic Design Student Association for design work, and a contingency line because the committee had not run an event of this scale before.

Committee members said they expect volunteer support: Downtown Ames will provide in-kind publicity, student designers are participating, and the organizing group anticipates needing about 30 docents and additional volunteers for setup and logistics. The planning group has partners identified so far including the Old Town Neighborhood Association, the Ames History Museum and Downtown Ames; Shelley noted Avec is participating on the planning committee as well.

Commission discussion also addressed possible city funding. Commissioners suggested the planning group or the event’s organizing body approach the City Council for funds and that the commission could write a letter of support; staff confirmed a past City Council planning-session comment that councilmembers were receptive to sponsoring community events. The commission agreed to consider how many members will attend the Preserve Iowa Summit and what portion of the commission budget might be used to subsidize registrations or travel; that funding decision is scheduled for the May meeting.

The motion as recorded in the meeting combined representation, sponsorship status, and a commitment to postpone a funding decision. The transcript shows the commission voted to approve that motion by voice vote.","The commission agreed to be a named sponsor of the community event “A Glimpse Inside,” appointed Devon Lewis and Kate Gregory as the commission’s representatives, and voted to postpone any decision on providing event funding until the May meeting.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6070866,"Ames City Historic Preservation Commission elects Devon Lewis chair; Lisa named vice chair",193,166000,359000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3049463-b1d1ccacb32fec70e8451a9f99efed21&start=166&end=359","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3049463-b1d1ccacb32fec70e8451a9f99efed21/thumbnail_166000.jpg","/articles/6070866/Ames-City/Story-County/Iowa/Ames-City-Historic-Preservation-Commission-elects-Devon-Lewis-chair-Lisa-named-vice-chair","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6070866-76c3c3064134e99e9c98080b1f10c4be/orig.mp4?Expires=1776763477&Signature=F6Nwn7BWJ45JffBLC3MfSRFHvpL64EnbuLkNCuZj6iVbjkuEzO6kaa8dq~Lhi-3P6~nNKobLL4q880uYivizrj2CnA~xM3puxNUs6KpdmPT1sOd2Fkj2uAmsBYh2z4jrrr6xWpeYFZg8xtS9oo9k08bTmNbK5ooSY8U0-6NORuu~ZUofRva04WtNS6Pln0-YFwRNh7PulHoUhXHhELjGlOZjtSEvk8q1y8T2dE~3C7qGQi~7bxpOLbkLfrvV1uQ5-CYVBa7p8HgDx-i9K2C-HXHqIj7jAn4YXNVBJmqq8LrWFx0eG~2ovn~nlBYFXRpU2qmfF~VCE3NAslpvAUD4gQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Devon Lewis was elected chair of the Ames City Historic Preservation Commission in a voice vote at the meeting. The commission also appointed Lisa as vice chair by voice vote.

The commission opened nominations for chair after approving the agenda and minutes. A member nominated Devon Lewis; Lewis accepted the nomination, saying, “I would, humbly and respectfully accept the nomination.” The commission then voted; a gavel was passed and Lewis assumed the chair role.

After Lewis took the gavel, the commission accepted nominations for vice chair. Following a nomination and a second, the commission voted to appoint Lisa to the post. Chair Lewis confirmed the outcome by announcing the motion passed.

The election took place by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript. Commissioners described the appointments as procedural; one commissioner noted the value of parliamentary procedure and the new chair’s familiarity with legal process during brief discussion.

The meeting proceeded to other agenda items following the elections.","At its meeting, the Ames City Historic Preservation Commission elected Devon Lewis as chair and named Lisa vice chair in unanimous voice votes.","actionData","errors"]
